The life of Artem Tarasov is like one big game: he gambled in KVN and casinos, in politics - running for deputies of the first Russian parliament, played detective, escaping persecution when he was “ordered” by bandits... He played business, inventing fantastic schemes for “cash out” through the payment of party dues... He played at the auction, planning to return the Little Russian Crown to the country. The book-confession of the first Soviet legal millionaire has everything that is inherent in an adventure novel: detective intrigue, love passions, gambling chases, secrets of big politics and business.
